Outstanding, I need these for my Abrams diorama. Sadly, I won't be at AMPS so I'll need to wait until I can order them on the net.

Gino,
I guess that I will have to make sure that you and Red Twelve don't buy all of them... I have been looking for some modern water jugs as well as the water gel blanket containers so this set should fit the bill.
Thanks for the heads up, Joe
How about some Pelican cases next???

You guys want Pelican cases...if so let me know which ones. As you can see from the pic there are many to choose.
I'll tell you what, give me the ideas and I'll see what (will) do.
Happy Modeling,
Joe

I decided to add a splash of color, oh yeah I forgot to mention we’re working on getting decals made for the Igloo logo and Fire-Jel containers.

Nice work Joe. Items like this add a nice splash of colour and contrast to a model. Very realistic and believable looking, all of them.

Wow! I was just wondering how I was going to fabricate a Fire- Gel blanket case and Commander comes through with one! I'll be getting that set soon.

Commanders was at Mosquitocon on Saturday and I picked up this set. Great work Joe! These are a must have accessory for all modern builds! I suggested to Ted some boom box radios would be nice too. He told me those are in the works now!
